Currently when there is an IO error (or similar) on GC read path, pblk
still moves this line to free state, what leads to data mismatch issue.

This patch adds a handling for such an error - after that changes this
line will be returned to closed state so it can be still in use
for reading - at least we will be able to return error status to user
when user tries to read such a data.

In a real bummer corner case, the line might have had a write error as well
(line->w_err_gc->has_write_err == true)

In that case we need to inform the rate limiter:
pblk_rl_werr_line_out(&pblk->rl);

Is that needed or rather preferred?

I'm not clearing w_err_gc->has_write_err value in that case (and thus not informing the rate limiter), so the line will go back to exactly the same state as before GC (still with write error marked).
